Slow Cooker Buffalo White Chicken Chili combines the rich flavors of buffalo wings with a creamy, hearty chicken chili. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or game day. With tender chicken, white beans, and buffalo sauce, it’s a comforting dish with just the right amount of spice. Plus, the slow cooker does all the work!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more if you like it spicier)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, white beans, corn, onion, and garlic into the slow cooker.
  • Add Liquids and Spices: Pour in the chicken broth, buffalo wing sauce, and season with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Add Cream Cheese: Cube the cream cheese and add it to the slow cooker. It will melt as it cooks, adding creaminess to the chili.
  • Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  • Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the chili and stir to combine.
  • Finish the Chili: Stir everything together, making sure the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
  • Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add more buffalo sauce or chopped jalapeños.
  • Frozen chicken works fine; just add 1-2 extra hours of cooking time on low.
  • For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free cream cheese or coconut cream.
